FBI assisting in search for missing Lake Worth attorney

The FBI is working with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office to find missing Lake Worth attorney Timothy McCabe, who clients say may have made off with millions of dollars.

Michael Leverock, special agent for the FBI’s Miami office, confirmed the federal agency’s involvement this afternoon and said McCabe is considered a missing person.

“The FBI is assisting the PBSO in looking into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance,” Leverock said.

McCabe, 55, of Boca Raton, was reported missing by his wife, who said he has not answered his cell phone since April 2.

The report dated April 5 also says an unidentified friend of the husband’s “spoke to him today on the phone and notified his wife.” McCabe told the friend it was “the last you’ll see of me,” a police spokesman said.

A ping of his cell phone indicated he was in South Carolina, the spokesman said.

McCabe’s name has been submitted to the National Crime Information Center as a missing person, records show.

Sheriff’s spokeswoman Teri Barbera said several clients have come forward since McCabe’s disappearance became public.

Marie Pupke said McCabe skipped out with more than $1 million of her money. She said an official at the firm told her between $6 million and $50 million might have been stolen.

“I’d like to know where my money is,” Pupke said last week. “I’d like to know what’s going on.”

The FBI released a new photo of McCabe and asked anyone with information as to his whereabouts to contact the sheriff’s office or the FBI at 305-944-9101.
